Average Rating: 5 stars (5 from 9 reviews)

Emma has had my son since he was 9 months old and they've built such a lovely bond. He enjoys many different experiences whilst in Emma's care such as Moo Music, play centre trips and visits to parks, zoos and museums. I love that he gets such varied, exciting experiences; something you wouldn't get at a Nursery.

Furthermore, Emma feeds the children amazing, healthy food... homemade curries, meat and potato hash, chilli's... just to name a few!

Emma has a really nice outdoor area, where my son enjoys playing on the slide and playing in the tough trays; he loves the outdoors!

Upon pick up, she always tells me about his day and what he's had to eat. She tells me the progress he's been making in certain areas and how she is going to expand his learning further.

When my son leaves Emma to move to pre school, I know both myself and my son will miss Emma dearly.

Response by Avatar for Snowden Snowden on 05/03/2024:

Awe thank you so much Emma. Sorry to let you know but you don’t get rid of me that easily. Xx

My two children have been with Emma for before & after school care for over 5 years. My children absolute love going after school and creating amazing friendships and learning new sills in the kitchen. As they get older they also take on more responsibility in the setting. It is a testament to the environment created and nurturing attitude of Emma, that every child is happy and they create close bonds, helping to support each other. I couldn't have wished for a better Childminder and setting for my children.

Oh Gill thank you so much. Your two children are a credit to you. They are so empathetic and have the most amazing personalities and humour. Thank you for choosing me to be in their lives xxx

Emma has looked after my little girl since she 11 months old. My little girl loves going to Emma's and it is great to see how settled and how well cared for she is. Emma plans activities that cater to my little girls interests and needs and it's clear they always have lots of fun. My little girl adores Emma and seeing the relationship they have makes it that bit easier to leave her every day. I really couldnt ask for anyone better. Emma also picks up my little boy from school. He's runs out of school and is always greeted with a warm welcome. Nothing is too much for Emma and she always goes that extra mile for the children in her care and their families.

Emma has been our amazing childminder for the last five years. Initially Emma was recommended to us by a work colleague, this was by far the best recommendation we’ve ever taken.
We have two little girls one who is currently with Emma and the other who has gone off to school. Both of the girls have an amazing bond with Emma, which is only something you can wish for in a childminder.
The children in Emma’s care have the best time with the fun/learning activities that she spends a lot of time planning and creating. Weekly visits to the library, play venues, play groups contribute to the learning and development of the children. All of which is photographed and documented for you when you need that little pick me up.
To complete Emma’s family she now has a lovely little dog called willow. Willow has become like a best friend to my little girl, her confidence and loving nature have shone through and as a result of this we now have our own little dog.
Both of our girls have amazing manners, confidence and the ability to embark on whatever the next chapter throws at them, this wouldn’t have been possible without Emma’s input.

My little boy went to Emma at 6 months old. From day 1 he loved her and as a parent it was so easy going back to work with all the fantastic updates we received. My little man was always taking part in a range of well planned and thoughtful activities. He made so much progress with Emma and enjoyed every second. Thank you for making my work transition and his childcare transition as easy as it could be xxx

Thank you so much. I loved every minute of looking after Big man. I’m so glad we are still in touch and I get to see and hear about him.

My son has been with Emma since he was 11 months old. He is now at primary school at still loves going to Emma's house. The children go to a wide variety of playgroups including library sessions and soft play.

In the house they have a large number of indoor and outdoor toys which are easy accessed by all of the children. The children are well nurtured in a homely, loving environment and form firm and lasting bonds with Emma and the other children in her care. The children are well looked after and any medical needs are catered for well.

There are tried and tested routines in place which benefits the children with clear boundaries. Independence is encouraged. She provides the children with home-made, nutritious meals.

Emma often goes above and beyond the call of duty. During the school holidays, the children visit the beach, parks, museums and various other places.

I would highly recommend Emma as a childminder.

Emma has looked after my 3 children since shortly after she registered. All I can say is we are so lucky we found her. Emma really is an amazing childminder and my children adore her. She ensures they are active and they visit a variety of places during school holidays and the children enjoy every minute. Emma clearly loves childminding and this makes it even more enjoyable for the children of all ages that she looks after. I can't reccommend Emma highly enough and you won't find a better childminder anywhere!!!

Our son has been going here for over a year now and absolutley loves everything.
The children are well cared for in every aspect possible. All areas of the EYFS are fully explored and carried out. Plenty of feedback is provided to parents.
All we can say is a massive thank you for your support with our son and helping him turn into a bright little man.
